His Lilly Of the Valley
ST. Panl Pioneer Pres

There are very fanny things that hap
pen IN hotels sometimes-too funny TO be
kept secret. Not SO very many days ago
couple-newiy married-stopped at the
Ryan for the night. They hailed from
somewhere in the valley of the Red dis
trlet, and had money enough to make q
small nipple in the city. The bride re-
tired early; but the groom, still feeling
his oats, went ont to see the town. He
visited number of the prominent re-
sorts, and about midnight found himself
IN the hotel elevator. Calmly transixing
the hoist boy With his eye, he addressed
him:
My boy-ish swheres my brideshY
Swhere's my turtle dove?n
The boy, of course, could not answer
him. Bat, finding the number of his room
he attempted TO take him there.
"Noshir!' said the inebriate. "Ish -hic.
vanish my cooling dove. She's the rosesh
OF the valley, she is"
Everybody in the rooms along the hall
was awake by this time, and several heads
peeped over the transoms.
"She's--a-a-a- hic-lambsh,r he contin-
ued, "a swan of the shea. Where'sh she 2
Ihatsh what want-h.c to know. Whosh
stole my cuckoo from mesh?n
BY this time they were at the door of
his room. 1t suddenly opened, hand
and arm clothed in white was thrust out,
and the unfortunate ysnked in with a ter
rite jerk and this remark:
Here's your rose of Sharon and lily of
the valley, you blamed old fool. Go to
bed"

St. Louis Globe pemocrat.

In 1850, the year before the war, a
party of northern Illinois hunters hied
themselves to the lakes of Minnesota for
an annual duck hunt of a few weeks, max
ing the journey 30 St. Paul, which was at
that time but little more than a frontier
village, by a steamer from Dubuque,
Iowa. Among the party was a chap
named Truax, a proverbial liar, but a
Jolly, goodnatured fellow withai, whose
predominant weakness was readily ex-
cused, If not entirely overlooked, by those
who knew him well, Abe, that being his
first name, seemed to struggle more reck-
lessly and naturally with the truth when
talking about his prowess as a hunter of
game than on any other subject.
One afternoon, as the steamer was
blowing its way through Lake Pepin, a
number Of the male pa6senges were seat
ed forward of the boiler deck, in little
knots, passing the time away in CONVEX
sation. Abe was a prominent figure in
one of the groups, and had already
astonished himself fairly by the whop-
pers he had fully gotten off, when
the subject of duck hunting, the mission
which himself and friends we're out on,
was adyerted To. I've shot a few ducks
in my time" broke in Abe during a mo
mentary lull in the talk. How many
did you ever kill in one day. queried a
cross eyed passenger from down
about Burlington. You may
not believe me. sir replied
Iruax, but in the late fall of 81 / went
out alone one morning, about seven miles,
With my dog and gun, and brought home
26O ducks by actual count, and it wasn't a
very good day for ducks, eitherw lyon
did that all aloHe, and in one tripy' asked
the cross-eyed man, as he put down some
figures on an envelope with pencil he
had carelessly taken from his vest pocket.
Yes, sir, did said Truax, with a tinge
of i'll humor to his tone. Those ducks
would weigh about two and half pounds
apiece, wouldn't they y casually remarked
the Burlington man, as be kept on max
ing characters with his pencil Il should
say they would, remarked the unsus-
pecting Abe, well, then, said the
persistent queristi you killed just ESQ
pounds OF ducks and If you can tell me
how one man is able to lug that weight
seven miles, and carry gun at the same
time, you can do something that no other
liar in the northwest can match" Abe
reflected a minute. AID with THAT is a
whopper- isn't it. gentlemen ?" ne invite d
the whole party into the bar to take
something at his expense.
The remark: And it wasn't a good day
for ducks either, was used banteringly
on Truax during the remainder of the
trip, and in time it became common on
the Mississippi, whence it spread until it
became one Of the proyerbial Amer can.

Maud \ Fond of Caresses
Turf, Field and Farm.

The Queen of the Turf is fond of cares
SEES. visiting party stood in front of
the box the other afternoon, and she
walked straight TO 10 the open door and
rested her nose on the shoulder of one
of the young ladies. Arms were wound
around her neck, and a soft cheek laid
against her head, and she was as tender
and considerate as big and rough man
in the presence of the girl he loves. Maud
S, has had a great deal of petting, but
petting has not spoiled her. She is won.
derfully gentle under the caressing hand
of woman. The Queen never looked bet
ter at this season of the year. She stands
squarely on her feet, and the legs are hard,
smooth and strong. The young lady who
had put her arm around the neck of the
chestnut mare asked Mr.. Bonner for one
of her shoes to hang up over her boudOir
door. She thought it would bring her
luck. The owner replied that he was not
in the habit of giving the shoes of Maud
S. away; it is the practice TO keep them,
so that the points where the wear i great
est May be studied, and thus act as
guide to shooting; but he was disposed t.
break through custom for once. A shoe
was not ready at the moment, but he pro.
missed to send the young lady one the
very next time the farrier was called il.
Rarus and Dexter are different from the
Queen. Neither is sociable when visitors
are around. Dexter's form has wasted,
but he ia well preserved for a horse 20
years old. He is never driven now. jim
ME, the terrier which has been the con
slant and devoted companion of Barus
for so many years, is not as spry as he
was. Age is telling on him. In the box
next to Rarus is Edwin Forrest, and what
a strongly built and speedy-shaped fell
low he is! But Mr.. Bonner's favorite
road horse is Piekard. He will Jog as if
drawing farmer to mill, and when spok-
en- to he will rouse himself and blind you
with rush like that of the awe-inspiring
hurricane.

cumstances and condition" The traffic
officers and the managers of the road had
prepared schedules to be submitted in an
honest effort to comply with the law. He
filed petition substantially similar in
purport to those presented by the South
ern Pacific.
j. L. Searles, Jr., of New York, repre-
senting the sugar refners of the east in
Guiding the st. Louis refinery, entered a
protest against the granting of the San
Frencisco refneries' petition. He told
the history of the Hawaiian sugar trade,
to the point where the importetions from
the islands exceeded the entire consump-
ton of the Pacific coast. Then TO make
a market for this surplus the importers
entered into combination with the rail
roads by means of which they were en-
abled to lay down this foreign commodi-
ty admitted free, at prices which the
eastern refners, who were held to full
rates of freight could not compete. One
result had been the closing up of the St.
Louis refinery which had cost one and a
half million dollars.
Mr.. Taft, representing the clipper line
of Sutton g. Co, addressed the commits
sion. He could not conceive that it was
the purpose of the aw-makers to throw
upon the commission any such enormous
task as that brought here by the railroads.
1t seemed to be the purpose of the rail
roads to force the commission to acqHaint
itself at once with all the details of these
questions involving the interest of the
entire country. He maintained that the
carrying of goods at a loss for the pur-
pose of driving out the clippers was not
fair competition and was not
thing which it was de-
sirable to encourage. There were classes
of goods which the ships could carry
cheaper than the roads could possibly do.
To fight for this traffic would not be com
petition at all; it would simply cause the
determination of the water carriers,
